I live in Boston (5 mins from NEU Campus) and I love it, the atmosphere is energetic, young and fast paced. The campus is close to the Prudential Hynes Convention Center, Longwood medical center and other colleges, therefore is pretty busy and interested in the Boston/NEU campus area. There are tons of activities especially in the fall and winter season, there is a great gym at the NEU Marino Center for fitness and recreation, and nearby shops for shopping.
